The regiment mustered into service and organized at Chicago, Illinois in the summer of 1861. The soldiers of the 24th Illinois experienced many facets of the Civil War, including death, disease, desertion, and regimental dissension. Throughout the war, the soldiers of the 24th Illinois experienced a unique form of Americanization through their experiences in the American military. Additionally, the story of the 24th lllinois regiment is one of dissatisfaction and discontent. Before one can fully understand the dynamics and culture of the 24th Illinois, one must first examine the community from which the regiment's soldiers came. According to the decennial census, the population of Chicago in 1860 was 112.172, making it the ninth largest city in the United States at the time. Of the 112.172, 22.230 were German born. The population of Chicago increased dramatically from 1850 to 1860, in part, because of the influx of German immigrants taking place during this time period. Many of the German immigrants were "48ers," participants in the 1848 uprisings and revolts that occurred throughout Europe. As a result of the failures in 1848, many Germans immigrated to the United States and settled in cities such as Minneapolis and Chicago. This influx of immigrants helped create a strong German influence and culture in Chicago at the time of the Civil War. |
